If you have seeds but you have no property (slrpnk.net)

What are some general considerations for where seeds would like to be around the neighborhood, around town? And is it generally best to wait for rain?

I usually sprinkle my leftover grain mix' in my town wastelands but I don't look for mesurable result.
I do it when I go for a walk, where I walk and I see that nature is a bit wild. Like in the places that have a bit of wild herbs not cut or remove. I don't care much about the time of the year best to the plant either.

This way, I usually see some flowers from flower mix' the next year. And once I had a few tomato grains that I sprinkle on top of some dried sewer mud and I had actual tomato fruits on it almost every year until the wasteland was repurpose.

Nature does not need much human intervention to grow. But I'm sure that with more care, I could get some better result.
